Sheldon,
For work, I use a Dell CPIa366xt laptop with a P-II 366..
Everything works perfectly under Mandrake 7.2... I had some issues with
sound under MDK 8 with the NeoMagic chipset.. Hopefully, they will be
resolved when 8.1 comes out.. It even recognizes the ethernet built into
the docking station, and the 3com PCMCIA modem.
I did have some initial configuration problems with X-Windows, but the Linux
on Laptops site was extremely helpful.. They had info on how to configure X
for my exact model.. The URL is http://www.linux-laptop.net/
